Sign Ups For EOY Double Round Now Open!
ficfinishing is now open to new members who wish to join for our special End of Year Double Round !
IMPORTANT: You must be a member of the comm to sign up! Join and watch the comm in order to see our sign up posts and the rest of our members only content. Our sign ups are always posted on the first of each month.
For our first End of Year Double Round we're making a departure from our normal rounds in order to make participation easier during this particularly busy time of year and in order to meet the special needs of authors at year end. In order to do this we're offering three different Tracks for authors to sign up for: NaNoWriMo, Holiday Ficathon and End of Year Fic Finishing.
NaNoWriMo Track - For authors committed to writing a novel in 30 days for National Novel Writing Month. (This Track runs through November only.)
Holiday Ficathon Track - For authors with strict Holiday Ficathon deadlines (like Yuletide) who really need to get specific fic out on time.
End of Year Fic Finishing Track - For authors who have personal goals to get certain fic or a short list of fic done before the calendar year ends.
Major differences from regular rounds:
1. The round lasts two months instead of one.
This makes it possible for authors to sign up for longer fic they couldn't normally finish in one two week active portion. It also allows authors to sign up for more than one fic and have a better shot at getting them done.
2. Instead of 14 Day posts there will be Week posts each Monday.
Authors will be more autonomous, deciding on their own fic finishing daily schedules, but with support and techniques from the comm.
3. Sign ups will not close and the comm will not be locked down.
Since this more freeform round lasts so long and does not have a core active portion we're leaving sign ups open for the next two months so that authors may come and get support as needed and readers can come and help out when they can. Week posts will still be F-locked for privacy, but members will not be kicked out if they are not signed up as participants.
How to sign up:
First Readers sign up as normal. Authors will need to locate the specific Track sign up post for whichever Track they wish to join and fill out the specific sign up form for that track.
Our fandoms this Round are the same as October (new ones will not be added until January): Numb3rs, Criminal Minds, Heroes, Blood Ties, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Bones, NCIS, Supernatural, Charmed, Blake's 7, Veronica Mars, Psych, Miracles, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, House, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis.
*Please* Go read the EOY Double Round FAQ before you sign up!
Since this round is quite different it's possible there may be more questions on how it will be run so please read the FAQ and ask any additional questions in comments there.
Enjoy the round and good luck to everyone with finishing their 2008 fic!
